Surfing Championship comes to New Smyrna Beach, Florida

The Eastern Surfing Association is hosting its Southeast Regional Surfing Championships at the New
Smyrna Beach Inlet April 18-21, 2013.

The ESA is the largest amateur surf organization in the United States. Established in 1967, the non-
profit ESA will bring over 200 competitors to the resort area for four days of exciting surfing and SUP
surfing competition.

“We are thrilled to bring this event back to New Smyrna Beach,” says ESA Executive Director
Michelle Sommers. “Pam Hill, ESA’s new Southeast Regional Director, is planning a phenomenal
event.”

Pam has been involved in the ESA for many years. “Her experience of organizing and running surf
contests will make this event one of the best in years,” states Sommers.

The competitors for this event have qualified through their local ESA districts. They will be competing
for their chance to surf the ESA’s final championship event, the Easterns.

A live, streaming webcast will cover all four days of competition on the ESA website. The ESA is
welcoming any local sponsors who are interested. “Not only may businesses and individuals get a
tax benefit for donating since the ESA is a non-profit, they are helping to promote this exciting event
to a huge audience of various demographics,” Sommers adds.
